I'm trying to find the most "official" version of epsxe, and I'm flummoxed to discover that the gentoo-wiki site is apparently not aware of epsxe being absent from the current tree, which makes methink that the package in question has been deprecated, migrated to an overlay, or something else.

all to sunrise-overlay unless someone has a better idea (most of them will probably be removed from tree as well, cause of gtk+:1 dep). Those 3 * are more or less done/tested.

If anyone can test other plugins on x86 or amd64 that would be great. For straight-forward testing i suggest first to extract the program archive manually in your home directory, add the plugins into the plugins-subdirectory and run the program.
On amd64 you need app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gtklibs.

All those plugins are in terrible shape for x86_64. And same goes for PS2 emulation.

If you want to run PS1 games, I suggest getting PCSX-r. Wish it were officially in the tree but it has no official releases yet. A number of overlays have the 9999 ebuild (funroll-loops being one of them).

This works well for me, the GUI is native and not terrible looking. And it is still being maintained unlike ePSXe which had its last release for Linux a long time ago.

I understand that (i think) but dont i need to download the overlay from the link above and place it somewhere ?
Last time i tried this i was trying to setup an application and really meesed things up.
Sorry for all the questions

3) Added the overlay (replace <name> with sunrise, hasufell, or any other overlay name):

Code:

root # layman -a <name>

4) Update the overlays:

Code:

root # layman -S

5) Install the package you want:

Code:

root # emerge --ask <package-you-want>

First time I used overlays was very confusing. The docs aren't very clear to me. I think the problem is the wiki docs mix local overlay with normal overlay (local overlay is when you develop your own ebuilds and the normal overlay is when another people develop an ebuild out of gentoo oficial tree and make it avaible on-line to Portage, then you can install that ebuilds with Layman).
